23.03.2023 11:05

Scientists have discovered how dogs distinguish between good and evil, and thanks to this they remember and distinguish bad people from good ones.

They do this not at all thanks to intuition or a special sense of smell. In fact, this is a true story and dogs remember everything and distinguish human intentions.

The research was conducted by experts from Rise University in Tokyo, and the results were published in the pages of National Geographic.

Dogs can not only trust or distrust a person, but also remember his actions and draw conclusions in the future - whether to trust this person or not.

A scientific experiment was conducted to find out how dogs behave with good and bad people.

One person would give the animal a bowl of food, and the other an empty bowl. The dog would only discover whether the bowl was empty or full when it could look into it.

When the situation with the bowls was repeated, the dog already showed aggression towards the deceiver.

Moreover, it turned out that some breeds could detect deception before approaching the bowl.

On this basis, scientists concluded that dogs have the ability to draw conclusions about a person, including in terms of the sincerity of his intentions at the present moment and in the future.
